Hi all, as a Java addicted man, tired of Linux dummies, I'd like to install Solaris Express on my Laptop (acer ferrari 1000)... Someone told me that Sun developpers had these laptops but I have some doubts.. It seems that this solaris is shipped with an old/buggy version of grub which doesn't support booting on external USB devices (CD-ROM)... Acer dvd-rom is a firewire 1394 so not usable for booting.. I don't see how to manage to run the install..So any help welcome... I 've succeeded in running this installation on a desktop machine after retrieving an old internal DVD reader ... Can't reproduce this with my laptop..
In my current configuration grub just hangs a few seconds after booting... (tryied with all distributions available benelix/nexenta/solaris express..) My BIOS is up to date (revision 10) no later revision available on acer website...
